Perhaps this episode marks a new chapter in my life. I have always believed that once i set on a goal whole-heartedly, i will achieve it 99/100 times. While there have been several such mile-stones in my career in the past, but probably, all that will fade in the face of what I had set to achieve as being part of this Anti-Reservation campaign and what I have actually achieved till date.
The country is on tenter-hooks on this issue of almost 50% reservation for the minorities. It will spell doom for the brains in India and also for the Industry, over a period of time. And moreover, the moot question is where are we heading to? A 69% quota in a state like Tamil-Nadu is already in place and who knows that this might be the case for the central universities also, infuture!!!. We got to stop this governtment on their tracks. And for that, if we can make a small contribution towards that end, it will be a huge plus.
Keeping this motive in mind, we(the people from the corporate sector) joined in so as to make an impact in our own way. Probably hundreds of mails were exchanged to encourage people to be a part of the rally on Saturday. With two different rallies slated, it added to the confusion. Finally we settled for the one @10am @Jantar Mantar on 20th May,2006(tomorrow). We held meetings for half an hour with the other interested colleagues in our company. Although the number wasn't huge, it was significant and those who participated, did it with their whole heart and sole.
Its 11:15pm and I just got a call from Ritu stating that there has been some commotion @JNU. So got to check the News. Will update after the march tomorrow.
